good analysis... our d was HORRIBLE in the 3rd... our team just forgot how to box out that quarter... this wouldve been a horrible lost. good thing we pulled it out in the last 5 minutes of the 4th... good win... i'll take it

Our D was atrocious at rebounds, but give the Wolves some credit in the 3rd where they seemed to shoot lights out. Turnovers were the big problem though. Empty possession after empty possession because of a bad pass, forced in the lane, or offensive fouls (The last one on Beans though was mega bullshit). Look at the shot differential, 110 for wolves, 80 for dubs. The warriors thankfully made it up at the line, shooting 29-37, with Azu going perfect after his first quarter 2 misses.

The defense stepped up a lot at the end.

Rebounds, defense, offense was all there FINALLY after the dry spell. Don't hate yourself in the morning... sleep 'til noon.

Let's see, last year we would have jumped out to a 20 pt lead only to watch it disappear in the third quarter with dismal D, then have a run somewhere in the late 3rd or early 4rth quarter and squeak out a win.

This year we seem to be destined to have tight games.. with a few exceptions.

I noticed people are beating us with the fast break a lot. Who told them they could steal our game....

yeah true. you can watch the young guys after we shoot and the other team secures the rebound, they are still ball watching or they try to go for a steal. Hopefully that will change soon.

Is it just me, or is the officiating really bad? I couldnt believe all of the moving screen calls on Biedrins last night. Also, you never see the amount of charges called at the end of the game as you do when the Dubs play. I watch a fair amount of games and I know Im a bit biased, but it seems like game after game down the stretch the officiating is consistently bad against the Warriors. How many times can a moving center draw a charge on a point guard? Also, how many times was Al Jeffersons 4th foul announced last night?

yeah that f*cker had 7 or 8 fouls by the end of the game. he shoulda been fouled out with 9 minutes left in the 4th.

I used to think we fans were just sensitive, but I've definitely noticed a media bias lately when they report about GSW games.

For OUR win against the nuggets, ESPN talked about Carmelo the entire segment, and just merely mentioned the Warriors won at the end.

Then I saw a quick rundown of NBA this morning and the clip they showed of a WARRIORS WIN... was Azubuike getting the ball stolen... wtf?
